Transcript

Today, I am getting the opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I have a private in the morning today, and I will be grateful for the opportunity and go all out with my intensity. I am still sore, as yesterday was a physical practice as well. However, I am ready to push through these feelings of pain in my head and work even harder.

I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to make the most out of every single minute of this opportunity. I will be positive when I play and I will keep a good attitude.

My coaching voice will remind me that it is necessary for me to learn to love the struggle. If I can push myself when I am tired in practice, it will be routine to be able to do this in tournaments.
